October 18, 2006

PLYMOUTH George Schricker has earned the Best Children's Song Award for 2006 with his song, "Archaeopteryx." Schricker received his award from the Just Plain Folks Music Organization. Winners will be recognized at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards Show on Nov. 4 at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana, Calif. Schricker, who lives in Plymouth, puts on educational programs at parks, schools and museums throughout the country. He wrote "Archaeopteryx" for a special traveling exhibit on loan from Germany that came to the Field Museum of Natuaral History in Chicago several years ago. The song is recorded on the "George's Brother" album, available at the Book Worm in downtown Plymouth. A sample of the song can be heard on an MP3 download at www.georgesbrother.com/ cd_order.html Here's a verse: I'm the talk of the Jurassic, They all come to ogle me, And therapods forget to eat, Just to watch me climb a tree. They're all jealous of my feathers, When I glide they make a stink, For when it comes to birds and reptiles, They know I'm the missing link.
